Chapter 627: The Ghost Ship Army on the Abyss
Except for them in the Dark Temple, no one knew about Lilith's plans for Ragnarok.
But the prerequisite for this plan to be carried out is to cross the abyss of darkness and enter the eternal land.
If anyone is damaged on the way, the difficulty of completing the plan will be greatly increased.
"Did the treasures of an ancient shipwreck lead to the formation of the Dark Abyss?" Li Ran's brows furrowed, this legend sounded a little outrageous.
Just like Weida ridiculed, is it a treasure or a Pandora's box that has been salvaged?
No one knows the truth, let alone explores.
Moreover, the pursuit of the formation of the Dark Abyss was not the purpose of their voyage.
Hai Xiaosheng and Erin did not communicate again.
The sea journey was boring, and I had to be on guard.
No one knows when the next danger will come.
Li Ran still followed the pointer of the compass.
The day passed quickly.
During this time, they encountered many of the giant creatures in the Abyssal Mist, and because they all gathered their breaths, the Hurricane was as inconspicuous as a leaf in the ocean to these behemoths.
By the next day, it was still impossible to tell whether it was night or day in the dark abyss, and could only tell how long it had passed according to the time of the timer.
They are all strong people above the realm lord level, and they can restore their physical strength and energy by sitting on the deck and meditating.
After Li Ran set the direction, he asked Teng Snake and Slippery Scoop to be responsible for releasing the wind, and directly took Su Bingyao to the captain's room to rest.
It is said to be resting, but in fact, it is to sit in the captain's room and meditate to recharge energy.
"There is a situation!"
Hai Xiaosheng on the Mast Sail Lookout suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Li Ran and Su Bingyao opened their eyes in an instant and walked out of the captain's room.
Everyone on the deck also stood up and looked at the sea ahead.
Because he didn't use his divine sense, he could only use his eyes to look into the distance in the dark abyss.
Hai Xiaosheng obviously has extremely strong eyesight, and can even penetrate the gray fog in front of him.
Everyone stood on the deck and looked into the distance for a long time before they noticed the anomaly.
I saw a ship appear on the vast gray misty sea.
A schooner!
The ship was very similar in appearance to the Hurricane.
Looking away through the eyes of the ghosts, Li Ran found that the entire hull and mast of the ship were in tatters.
"Ghost ship?" Fiona asked.
She was right to think so, because the ship looked similar to the Hurricane, but it would be smaller, and more importantly, the ship would sail alone on the sea.
"We'd better get around this ship and stay away from everything in the Abyss, even if it looks like a small boat." Hai Xiaosheng suggested.
Li Ran thought the same way, and he immediately took control of the rudder and shifted the course slightly, away from the ghost ship in the mist.
Once you feel that something is wrong on the abyss, it is really wrong, and there is no need to doubt it, it is wise to move away quickly.
"Strange, why did it appear again?" Hai Xiaosheng on the lookout changed his face slightly.
Later, everyone saw the ghost ship in the sea not far away.
"Isn't it, are we getting on the ghost ship so soon?" Sloane said with a shocked expression.
"I've heard a lot of legends about ghost ships at sea before, it is said that it is erratic, no one knows where it comes from or where it is going, but once someone sees the ghost ship, it is not so easy to get rid of it, it will follow like a shadow." Slippery Scoop said mysteriously.
After everyone heard this, an inexplicable uneasiness rose in their hearts.
If this were in the dark sea, a ghost ship would not pose any threat to them.
The problem is that this ghost ship is on the abyss, and its nature is completely different.
"It's not the same ship." Li Ran said suddenly.
Everyone looked at Li Ran with a look of astonishment.
"Are there two ghost ships?" Liu Xian wondered.
But soon, the crowd got an answer.
As the Hurricane rode through the gray fog, a faint light appeared in the gloomy sea ahead, floating on the surface of the sea like a dark lamp.
But when the Hurricane got closer, they realized that the light was not a dark lamp at all, nor was it a ghost fire.
It's an ancient galleon that glows with a ghostly glow.
The shadows of the schooners slowly appeared in the fog on both sides of the Hurricane, and they emerged from the fog, calmly sailing on the surface of the sea, heading in the direction of the dark abyss.
"This ...... So much? The dragon's eyes widened in disbelief.
In the sea ahead, dark and gloomy, fog like a veil, hundreds of dilapidated schooners glowing with a ghostly light appeared on the sea.
They were eeriely silent, without a sound.
The faces of everyone who saw this scene changed.
"None of the crew members on those ships?" Su Bingyao was surprised.
"No, those boats are full of people!" Li Ran said suddenly.
When they heard this, they all looked at Li Ran, because in their eyes, the ghost ship did not have any life on board except for the dilapidation.
"Chaos Heart is right, these ghost ships are full of ghosts." Edward of the Cloister of Death said with a glint in his eyes, and then he added, "They're staring at us." ”
"It's just little ghosts, there's nothing to be afraid of." Weida said disdainfully.
Because Li Ran still has the talent of the ancient divine soul in his body now, he can see the soul even without the help of the ability of the little trick bottle.
Each ghost ship has ghosts watching them, but it is limited to gazing, and there is no other superfluous action.
And these ghosts are also very weak, the realm lord on their ship, any one of them can make these ghosts physically and mentally annihilated by a little bit of realm power and coercion.
But now they don't dare to do it, because it's in the waters of the abyss.
That's why the spirits on the ghost ship are staring at them.
"By the way, can't we deviate from the course here, and must we follow them?" Romon asked.
Li Ran said with a solemn expression: "It's not that we follow them, but that we have stepped into the sea area of this ghost ship, and there are all around!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog ahead had significantly faded a lot, and the Hurricane sailed into a large and empty area.
Everyone's horizons have obviously become broader.
And thousands of ghost ships have appeared on the surface of the sea in this area.
From afar, it floats on the surface of the sea like dark lanterns.
From the smallest fishing boats, to sailboats, to galleons, to larger three-masted boats, you can see everything in this area.
But without exception, these ships are all in a dilapidated state, with no life on board, only countless ghosts.
At this time, Ram became excited: "Master, Ram remembers, these ships are all ships that took the treasure with Captain Jason." ”
Erin and Hai Xiaosheng glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of consternation.
"So these ghost ships are all ships that were engulfed in the black fog after seizing the treasure back then?" Erin walked up to Ram and asked.
Ram excitedly pointed to the broken ships in front of him and said, "Those are the ships from Bibo Harbor. ”
"And those three are from Garden Island."
"The ones in front of you are the ships of the Steel City."
"Ram remembers."
Seeing Ram's excited appearance, everyone looked at each other.
This means that the story Ram told before is real for thousands of years, and it is happening.
"So these ships were all involved in seizing the treasure of an ancient shipwreck?" Zhai Fei asked curiously.
Ram looked in the direction of the ghost ship army, then looked at the rear, gestured with his hand, he nodded and said, "Yes, this direction is the direction of the ancient shipwreck treasure." ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
"Aren't we going to meet that Pandora's box if we sail down?" Wei Da said, he had compared the shipwreck treasure to Pandora's box.
Weida's words are also what everyone thinks.
"But didn't the ancient shipwreck treasures already know thousands of years ago, and why did these ghost ships still go in that direction one after another?" Su Bingyao asked curiously.
"It is rumored that souls retain their obsessions during life, and if they were all in search of treasure during their lifetime, there is a high probability that they will repeat this after death, and they will not even know that they are dead." Hai Xiaosheng said.
"Is that ancient shipwreck treasure still there?" Teng Snake said suddenly.
His question immediately aroused everyone's interest.
"You don't want to see the smoky Pandora's box, haha." Weida laughed.
"If you can turn the eight million sea areas into the dark abyss it is today, this treasure is probably not so simple, and it is by no means an ordinary treasure, I am afraid it is a long-planned premeditation." Li Ran said what was in his heart.
Erin said, "Why do you suddenly think like this? ”
Li Ran frowned slightly, looked at the dark sea area in front of him and said: "This is no longer Lilith's dark temple, and we are all in the same boat, if we can't be honest with each other when we enter the Eternal Land, I'm afraid that we may all die before we reach the Eternal Land, shouldn't you tell us what you know?" ”
"What do you want to know, we don't know much about the Dark Abyss as much as you do." Erin said.
Hai Xiaosheng jumped onto the deck from the lookout above, came to Li Ran and said, "Do you think that the shipwreck treasure is related to the Eternal Land, or even that the shipwreck treasure was caused by the Eternal Land or the Divine Realm, right?" ”
Li Ran nodded and said, "I do think so, the shipwreck treasure is such a huge move, turning the sea area of eight million nautical miles into a dark place, even a god can't do it easily. ”
"Actually, the legend about the shipwreck treasure has known for a long time that Lord Lilith has such inferences and conjectures like you, Lord Lilith said this, the gods of the god realm have blocked the way and power for mortals to become gods in order to enjoy supreme power and supreme resources in a sustainable way, because once more people become gods, the life of those hypocritical gods will not be so easy."
"So a plan for the [burial of the gods] was born, the purpose of which was that no new gods would appear, and the gods in the realm of gods could rule the world forever." (End of chapter)
